A new set begins: Live performance and chat with Ben Mason
A new set begins: Melbourne Singer/songwriter Ben Mason may not be well known in the US, but he's gained fans among Portland's finest musicians including members of Death Cab For Cutie, Bright Eyes, The Decemberists and The Delines, who helped him record his third album, 'She'd Need a Heart.' Mason describes his latest album as, 'Exploring themes of unrequited love, loneliness and gardening,(the album) combines classic 60s orchestral pop, psychedelic ambient folk lullabies, and atmospheric weather jams into a cohesive collection of songs telling the story of a man and his scarecrow.' Ben's songs have a sweetness about them, sung with a simple tenor, often punctuated by complementary strings. While here on a short visit, Ben Mason played a few tunes for Irene's show.

A new set begins: Live performance and chat with Luiz Murá
A new set begins: A last minute booking brought Brazilian singer/songwriter/guitarist Luiz Murá in to play a few tunes. Coming from a Japanese, Portuguese and Italian family, mixture a large part of Murá's personality and music. In 2012 Luiz collaborated with the Swedish ensemble, Unit, on a world music/jazz fusion collaboration. His most recent album, 'En Barcelona,' finds Luiz in more of a samba vein from his (now) home base of Barcelona. Luiz Murá played live late in Irene's show.
